Like Tortoise SVN on Windows but feel left out as Tortoise SVN is not available on Linux?

Don't despair, KDESVN may be the solution you are looking for. While it does not have the same right-click interface in the file browser, it is fast, has a great use model and just works the way you would expect it to work.

Changes in your workspace are highlighted in the KDESVN window (even if made elsewhere, KDESVN seems to detect changes very quickly), and when you come to commit you get the chance to add extra files as well as diff selected files and revert changes.

On Ubuntu Linux, all you need to do is go to Synaptic Package Manager and install it from there. For other Linux distributions, follow the instructions at http://kdesvn.alwins-world.de/

We would also suggest integrating KDESVN with kdiff3 (for diffing), which gives you a neat diff view.
